So the greatest common factor 291,288 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 867,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 743019
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/743019
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 291/867,288/857 is 3/743019
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 867,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(867,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(867,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(867,857) = ( 867 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(867,857) = 743019 / 1
LCM(867,857) = 743019
